EASY HOMEMADE TOFFEE BITS

Steps:

• Cut butter into cubes and place in heavy saucepan with sugar. Heat on low to medium low setting, whisking rarely while the sugar and butter melt. As the toffee cooks it will start to look clumpy, whisk or use a rubber spatula to scrape the bottom of the pan while it is cooking to prevent any burning. As the color of the toffee starts to darken, stir in the vanilla and the salt. Continue to cook and until the temperature on the candy thermometer reaches 295F to 305F and the toffee is approximately the color of peanut butter. Carefully pour the hot toffee onto a parchment or silicone baking mat lined baking sheet. The toffee will cool and harden within 10 - 20 minutes. Crack it with a spoon or pestle. Store in airtight container for up to one week.
